CLARKS SUMMIT — The borough hosted its Summer Solstice & Strawberry Festival, celebrating the season with a sweet, fun-filled weekend featuring a farmers market, bake sale, and a variety of local vendors offering handmade goods, tasty treats, and one-of-a-kind finds. Attendees were able to enjoy live music, face painting, sidewalk sales, and family-friendly fun — including a crowd-favorite pie-eating contest and the adorable Strawberry Strut Races for kids.
